    • RE: Add Kinetica G2 board support

      Sorry for late answer I missed the notifications

      I never got the board in hand, I did the porting by just reading original code and sending modified code to @royco who validate it, @royco supposed to send me a board but unfortunatly I never got it. So the code is the one I posted on github https://github.com/panucatt

      I got request to move to RRF 3.0 but doing blind coding is not really fun 😞 - I posted the code to let anyone who has the board to improve it

      Ok,
      it looks like Kinetica does not use same CS pin as Maestro and does not have USB Vbus pin, so I have to add an entry in DuetIAP
      Noted ^_^
      Thank you

    • Add Kinetica G2 board support

      Hello @dc42 , hello community,

      following PR process I am starting discussion about how to add a new board in the nice RepRap firmware
      I am helping @royco to get support on his Kinetica G2C board

      The board is based on Duet2 Maestro/Duet2 Wifi
      4 drivers TMC2209
      1 Heatbed/1 Hotend
      2 Fan mosfets
      3 thermistor inputs
      Supports PanelDue/128x64 graphic LCD display
      Supports WiFi (esp8266) or Ethernet modules, the serial to flash esp8266 is shared with panel serial and done using jumpers.

      I worked on support based on 2.5rc1 but I can update as it was before Xmas ^_^,
      I did not check the 3.0beta12 as we focused on existing base first

      What I modified :
      CoreNG with SAM4S_PDBOARD
      https://github.com/Panucatt/CoreNG/tree/kinetica
      commit
      https://github.com/Panucatt/CoreNG/commit/6396890fb960796213d1aab88a3edab80da4b6b7

      The variant is SAM4S8C and the flag is PDBOARD because of some modifications for the ESP8266 board and also UDD_ENABLE, UDD_NO_SLEEP_MGR like Maestro

      Board use KINETICA_G2 as flag and of course SAM4S8C ,RTOS, PDBOARD

      I have added define for Kinetica in reprap code and also excluded kinetica directory from all others boards.

      I am still wondering if adding the PDBOARD is necessary in DUETIAP, so it is not done yet

      I should say I am not super good about the eclipse configuration part: .cproject, it seems different according eclipse version, when it looks ok in eclipse UI, it seems little bit messy in editing .cproject file, especially for reprap part.

      About code addition:
      Because serial is shared between ESP8266 and Panel when updating ESP firmware, I have added a function to disable/enable the GCODE input on the serial in WiFiInterface.cpp when doing update, reprap.GetGCodes().SetInputActive(6,false); and reprap.GetGCodes().SetInputActive(6,true);, may be the enabling is not necessary because screen need a restart but for safety I did it.

      I fixed some warnings due new pinout

      Feel free to ask me or to @royco if you have any question ^_^

      Please let us know your comments and advices, so we could move forward to push a PR in github.

      Thank you
